The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.

Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.

"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

    It's precisely the kind of silliness that appeals to the masses, though. Twitter is just the "sound bite" in Web 2.0 (3.0? 3.11? 3.11 for Workgroups?) form.

    Web 3.11 for Workgroups

    OK, now you've made me a little bit ill. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

    Actually, it doesn't in my experience appeal to the masses as much as it appeals to elites who think it appeals to the masses or is an accurate reflection of what the masses think.
